Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
4.0

After all these years, this books remains a fascinating glimpse into the world of the geisha and I really enjoyed the reading it. However, I do recognize the problem of a white American man trying to write through the eyes of a Japanese girl/woman and, at times, Sayuri seems like a caricature of a geisha, rather than a fully fleshed woman. I would love to see a book like this written by someone who actually lived this type of life. I will certainly be seeking one out.

3.5 stars rounded up only because I enjoyed it so much.
